    BoulderLink

    Morning all from the UK Can the Boulderlink be used for purposes outside the Boulder range? I'm just about to get 1110 and 1160 combo so don't need the Link anymore (used with 1010 pre and 860 power). It must be a trigger unit but don't know if it would be useful for users of other makes...

    Worth getting a used 1060 or new 1160?

    Thanks to all members for these helpful comments. At my age (76) I'm aware that my listening years are limited and my hearing re higher frequencies is probably in decline (must get it checked). Living in the UK means access to dealers who can provide good range of top amps for comparison is...

    Boulder 1010 phono input

    Thanks again for these comments. My plan is to check all the connections and the cable disposition behind the 1010 etc - bit of a rat's nest - and see if that makes a difference. I have a v good Graham Slee 2-box phono pre which I might reinstate as a test, but I was trying to reduce the...

    Boulder 1010 phono input

    Thanks very much for this comment. I too was wondering whether to get the unit checked but here in the UK that might be a problem. I'll try a separate phono stage as you suggest but this was exactly what I was hoping not to need! Should have checked the phono stage out more carefully before...

    Boulder 1010 phono input

    Hi, I'm new here so hope I don't break any rules. I have a Boulder 1010 pre-amp + 860 power amp (not enough space or money for the 1060) and generally it all sounds terrific. I'm just a bit concerned about the phono input (using the MC setting) - at raised volume levels there is a degree of...
